مجالات الاهتمام الرئيسية
ينقسم موقع حوار النساء حسب المواضيع إلى أربع مجالات اهتمام رئيسية:
- التغيير القانوني
- النساء في المجال العام
- العنف القائم على أساس النوع الاجتماعي (الجندر)
- البحث، والتوثيق والحوار المتعلق بقضايا النوع الاجتماعي
وتنسجم مجالات الاهتمام الرئيسية مع نقاط التركيز في برنامج الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا الذي ينفذه مركز كفينفو بشكل ثنائي أو على الصعيد الإقليمي.
مجالات التركيز الرئيسية تلك تلامس التحديات الرئيسية التي تواجه المرأة في المنطقة العربية. وهي تحديات غالبا ما تكون مشتركة بين النساء، سواء في الدنمارك أو في أجزاء أخرى من العالم. اعتمد اختيار مجالات التركيز الرئيسية على توصيات من ناشطات من النساء العربيات وعلى احتمالات إقامة تبادل مثمر من الخبرة والتجربة بين الناشطين والاختصاصيين الدنماركيين والعرب.
